Phone is too close

If I cover the camera on my iPhone12, this does not occur but that is not practical. How do I turn off the Phone is too close feature?

iPhone 12, iOS 17

iPhone 14 Pro Max won't take close-up photos. I know that my iPhone is capable of taking excellent close up photos. It is one of a few reasons why I bought this phone. When I use an app called rock identifier, the close-up option works fantastically. However, when I use the camera on its own, for example taking a photo of a wildflower or an insect, I'm unable to get it to focus without moving at least 6-8 inches away. Please help! How do I get my camera to take photos that are up-close (1-3" or 2-4 cm) to the subject? I am grateful for any guidance you can provide! Susan

iPhone 17 image slowly rotating when filming?!?!? When filming on an iPhone 17 connected to a MacBook Air, the image is slowly rotating first left then right. I thought maybe it was an OBS studio issue, but when I face time using the phone as a camera connected to the MacBook, the same thing happens. On playback it looks a bit like I’m on a boat rocking left then right. I’d really appreciate thoughts on how to stop this. Richard
